Hello from Florida!!

Post by Boosiedds »

I'll cut right to the chase:
Been in the TSP for 14 years w/ around 530K in account; (not my only retirement account, but obviously want to grow it as much as possible) seen other sites similar to this one. Used timing sites for TSP in prior years without beating the market averages. Currently holding in all equities at C/S/I---50/25/25 because that was my CFP's rec. Around 12 years to go to retirement. Just became eligible for catch-up contributions. Putting the full 24,500 in next year.
Interested to see what the site has to offer.

Looks like many successful investors located here if what I see is legit.

Thanks!!

Hello,
Yes what you see is what you get here. Way smarter people here than I am, but I have started following the seasonal and have been beating the market. Look at some of the new TSP daily stratagies see what may work for you and give it a try. Like I said smarter people will chime in later and give you some great advice. Congrats on your investments keep up the good work.

Are you planning on having a million dollars in your TSP Account when you retire or were you thinking 1.75 million?

Hi Boosiedds, I think that you'll do very well with maxing out your contributions and adding the over-50 catch-up contributions. I started doing this last year and my balance has really begun to pop with this and the rally in the markets.
